HOW THEY STAND.
Milwaukee Remains a Long Way
in the Lead,

The Northwestern league has been Sc
riOuSly interfered with by Jupiter Plu-
vius the past week, about half the
games scheduled now being on the
postponed list. The teams are in eX-
actly the same order they were at the
end of last week. On Saturday La
Crosse pulled in ahead of Duluth, but
Sundays game put the Zenith City club
on even terms with the Badgers again.
Milwaukee'S lead is still dangerous
one, though not so formidable as week
ago. The team begins playing at home
again to-day, and is more likely to in
crease than decrease its lead. Des
MOines retains Shadowy hold upon
second place, but the chances of the
IowanS retaining the place to the end of
their trip, are more shadowy still. They
are great ball players at the grounds of
the HaWkeye capital, but among the
poorest travellers in the league. st.
Paul is taking another brace,
having won the last three games
played without much effort.
The placing of Burch in right field
seems TO have brought about this
change of fortune. Burch was known
from the first to be a great man with
the stick, and his work yesterday shows
him to be great fIelder. He seems to
be running very slow, but his long strides
carry him over an immense deal of
ground in quick time. Oshkosh contin-
ues a good fourth, and the prospects of
the teams finishing the week ahead of
DeS Moines are bright. Minneapolis is
playing great game all around, ana
shows disposition to go up higher.
Such work as it has been doing the past
two yvapkS will DrOh9hlV rive tbe team
a higher standing, though the dis
tance between Oshkosh and MinneapO-
lis is too great to be overcome in a few
days. There will not be another game
in st. Paul until next Sunday, when the
twins will cross bats here. The team
leaves tonight for Duluth, where it
will play Tuesday. Wednesday and
Thursday, returning by way of Mime
apolis. and playing there Friday and
Saturday. The standing of the teams

Patsy O'Leary, the featherweight, and
Tim Mccarthy, aged nineteen, weighing
respectively 105 and 80 pounds. fought
eleven rounds in 10X20 room i'll the
rear of a saloon on Third street early
this morning. Two-ounce mits were
used, and after eleven rounds were
fought Mccarthy threw up the sponge.
In the opening two rounds the sparring
was very light, but the third round
closed in the give-and-take order
of fighting, both showing con-
siderable punishment. In the
fourth round neither seemed in
clined to push matters; In the
fifth McHugh forced the fighting. land

tagOnist's neck and face. Mccarthy
went to his corner grOggy. In the sixth
round 1.-The kid'' banged Mccarthy right

The eighth round was the most exciting
that was fought. Mccarthy made sew
eral good ruSheS, and i'll one of these he
landed corker on McHugh's chest that
would have felled him 10 the floor had
he not staggered against the wall. The
''kid" was not slow to retaliate, and
shot out his left several times
with telling effect, planting it squarely
Oh McCarthy's swollen eye and bruised
nose. The hOn0rs were about evenly
divided in the ninth, but in the tenth
Mccarthy hurt his hand, and while
stopping to nurse it was rOundly
thumped and came within one of being
flOored. In the eleventh round McHugh
made it very warm for Mccarthy, and
he sent i'll some sOakerS on his face,
stomach and ribs. Mccarthy was very
groggy and had all he wanted. When
he went to his corner he told his seconds
that he was done. They gave it up, and

Senator Sherman's Daughter.

Philadelphia News
There is paragraph going the rounds
that Senator John Sherman's one child
is daughter named Mary, who last
year for the first time entered society
in Washington. Mr.. and Mrs. Sher-
man have no children of their own and
never had. The circumstances of the
adoption many years ago of this young
girl were somewhat remarkable.
The senator and his wife one day
were visiting an orphan asylum, when
this little child, then almost an infant,
seemed to take great fancy to the sen
ator, and would hardly consent to have
him go away. This touched a man who
is naturally stern and cold in his man
ner.
The result was sudden resolve to
adopt her, and the senator and his wife
took the child home with them. where
she has ever since been treated as their
own daughter.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 14.-The Leader
to-day says that it has been learned from
reliable authority that to-morrow's
meeting of the League Base Ball assO-
citation at Long Branch was called to
consider charges against certain players
who have been detected in working the
pools to their own advantage and play
ing their games accordingly. The paper
states that the alleged crookedness
among the players, SO far as their in
formant is positive,is all in thew aShing-
ton club. The Leaders informant claims
positive information that the Washing
ton club worked the pools with decided
advantage in the recent games played
in Pittsburg and Detroit. Mysterious
cipher telegrams are alleged to have
been sent and received by the WASH
ington players during the progress Of
their games.

larger sum, any night during the week.

THE BABY.

The little tottering baby feet,
With faltering steps and slow,
With pattering echoes soft ana sweet
Into my heart they go;
They also go, in grimy plays
In muddy pools and dusty ways,
Then through the house in trackful maze
They wander to and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to me,
Are the same hands that smash and wreck
.in The inkstand foul to see:
They pound the mirror with a cane,
They rend the manuscript i'll twain,
Widespread destruction they ordain
In wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy. murm'ring voice
That COOS its little tune,
That makes my listening heart rejoice,
Like birds in leafy June.
Can wake in midnight dark and still,
And all the air with bowling fill
That splits the ear with echoes shrill,
Like comets out of tune.

it was wet and heavy next the rails.
The first quarter was done in 3212 sec

full mile in 2:1O1s. The best mile OF the
year in public or private trotting TO-

the Cleveland or Hartford tracks she
can beat her own record of 2:0SM.

THAT OLD GARMENT.

No one has more respect, nor more
highly honors, the Grand Army of the
Republic than the Sentinel, but it be-
comes nauseating to see that old ensan-
guined garment shook in our faces, and
to have the motives of the leaders of the
Democratic party impugned at every
camp fire, as has been the case the last
two meetings If it is non-partisan in
stitution, its members should so act and
speak in public, and, if it is not non-par-
tisan, call it by its right name.- Ness
City Sentinel, Dem.
''To see" it "shook" is good. But, dear
sir, what is that old ensanguined gar
ment? Is it the Federal flag?
It is hard, we know, that the boys who
saved the nation will not now trail their
flag in the dust, and proclaim for the rest
of their lives what great mistake they
made. But did you ever stop to think,
Mr.. Sentinel, that the great commercial
North backed these same boys in their
warfare for the Union, and that, after
having saved what they went after, these
same boys are now at home, and purpose
to say what they please in the direction
of sustaining the national patriotism?
This is the size of it!

SUCH INCONSISTENCY.

A Sedaha parson had been accustomed
to stroke the heads of the female mem
bers of his aock when they suffered from
headache. One day he kissed one of the
ladies in question, because, as he naively
put it, she leaned her head upon his
hand, in such way as to lead him to
suppose she would not care. The little
mistake cost him $50, and drove him out
of the pulpit.
Such inconsistency, we repeat. That
minister, in kissing that woman, supposed
he was accepting ap invitation. In the
ordinary run of public plays, not to men
ton the ''socials," such invitations are
acted upon as one of the matters of
course, and nobody is punished, or sup
posed by public sentiment to be punish
able, therefor. 1t is true, we have no ap-
proval for the miscellaneous practice of
kissing. 1t leads to the ultimate destruc-
ton of too many virgins to suit us.
What we protest against is drawing the
line at preachers. They have just as sa-
cred right as anybody else to follow the
promiscuous kissing habit.

NO SPITE WORK.

A number of Kansas newspapers pre-
dict that passenger rates on all Kansas
railroads will be cut down to cents per
mile by the next legislature on account
of the decision to issue no more passes.
The leaven seems to be working. Topeka
CAPITAL.
Lets not go quite so far. Unless the
rate of three cents mile under the pass
system was too high, the reduction of
fare to two cents would be too steep. If
three cents mile under the pass system
was too much, the reduction to two cents
may be correct. The increase in the re-
ceipts by the railroads in Kansas, as the
result of the abolition of the pass system,
will not equal one cent a mile. The
Worlds policy is to reduce to the low
est proper point railroad tariffs of all
kinds, but the people can not afford to
carry a particle of the retaliatory spirit
into this legislation.

MALICIOUsLY FOOLISH.

The Wisconsin Legislature, passed a
bill the other day, making it obligatory
upon the railroads of that state to issue
passes to the members of that legisla-
ture.- Abilene Gazette.
The above head was put on at this
office. 1t expresses our opinion of the
action of any Legislative assembly which
will pass such law as is credited to the
Wisconsin legislature. Such action, If it
is constitutional, is simply rape on the
railroads. Beyond this, it is an insult to
the people of the state, who, it is to be
presumed from the Legislators accepting
their positions, pay them for their work.

interests of Trego county in the legisla-
ture before those of Wallace county, hav-
ing, at the same time, no enmity against
the people up there. Tilton will say, as
matter of fact, with regret that Will

HOW TO PLANT TREES.

j. W. Manning contributes to Farm
and Home the following, which the
World regards well worthy of space in
these columns: "Fresh dug trees ought
nearly all to live if properly planted and
cared for afterward. advise planting
trees in spring, before the heavy rains
are over, and evergreens before June,
especially on dry soil. With few ex-
ceptions. Ibelieye trees and shrubs can be
planted with safety i. in the fall also.
Evergreens should be planted as early as
August or September, as soon as their
growth is upened, while the ground is
warm. They must not wilt when out of
the ground, or from lack of moisture
when planted. In planting trees, I sell
dom use water about the roots, except to
sprinkle the roots to cause the earth to
adhere more readily. Unless the soil is
quite dry late in the spring, or early in
the autumn, see that the soil is made to
conae In close contact with the roots
Dig hole far beyond the extent of the
longest roots, and in poor, gravelly OF
sandy soil, dig larger, and substitute rich
loan. Cut back all mangled roots; re-
duce the tops of all trees, taking off much
OF the last seasons growth. A tree with
poor roots, or badly dried, can be made
to live by very close pruning; while large
trees, with tops formed, it is well not only
10 shorten back, but to take clean out
some OF the branches. Plant little
deeper than the tree grew In the nursery,
especially If the land is Of a dry nature"

THE RAILROAD MAP.

We are in receipt, from the board of
railroad commissioners, of their new rail-
way map of Kansas. Each system of
railroad in this state is shown in a par
ticular color. The Santa Fe has the
greatest number of miles. The other
systems represented in this state are the
Union Pacific; Missouri Pacific; Burling-
ton & Missouri River; Kansas City, Fl.
Scott & Gulf; Wichita & Western; Chi
cago, Kansas & Nebraska; Parsons &
Pacific; st. Joseph & Grand Island; st
Louis & San Francisco.
This railroad map also names the ex-
press companies in this state, and the
lines over which they operate. The
Wells, Fargo & Co. line operates over
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Leaven-
worth, Topeka & Southwestern, Southern
Kapsas, Burlington & Missouri River in
Nebraska, Wichita & Western. The
Pacific Express line operates over the
Manhattan, st. Joseph & Grand Island,
Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific. The
Adams express operates over the South
ern Kansas, Kansas City, Fl. Scott &
Gulf, st. Louis & San Francisco.
A discrepancy in the names of the rail-
road system and the names of the lines
over which the different express COM
panies do business will be noticed. This
we take it, arises from the names of some
of the local roads being included in the
names of some of the systems of road.
